Greenbury Point Lighthouse

In his report of the engineer operations
in the Fifth lighthouse district, Major
Gregory who is the engineer of the light
house board, says: At Greenbury Point,
at the entrance of the Severn river, the
washing away of the shore continues. No
steps have been taken to..arrest the erasion
as the light in its present position is of
very little use, and as 1t has been hoped
that Congress would provide an appro-
priation for q new structure on the shore
off the point, recommendation for which
has been made in several previous re.
ports.

The Trunk Smasher.

This is the season of the year when the
common North American baggage smash
er blossoms and brings forth fruit Dur
ing the hot spell he gets in his best work
and makes his most emphatic remarks
Under his skill manipulation a new trunk
soon takes on haggard and dcmoralized
look, and an old one gapes at every cor
ner.
Trunks were foreordained to be smash
ed and the baggage man makes their
sscalling and election" sure. His order OF
destructiveness consists of the entire pro-
tuberance above his shoulders With q
smile Of childlike pleasure he drops the
Saratoga from the tailboard Of an omni-
bus. and listens TO hear the rivets snap as
il makes q dent in the sidewalk. When
the strap parts he feels that he has ac-
complished the great purpose of his life.
and when the iron side bands and the lock
give way. he sits on the remains" like
an overioyed coroner, m0ps his manly
brow with his shirt sleeve. and brings in
verdict, Broken BY mysterious vista
ton Of providence.

Come John the weather's very warm,
The children are all tired out,
so let rs TX up q nice lunch
And take little bout.
Why, Jane, I'm hard az work TO day
So hard can't be civil,
For since / left the house this morn
I've been worried by the devil.
oh dearest, John, don't tell me So
! really thought that you
Had beat old satan hip and thigh
And had heavenly lands in view.
Why, Jane. you do not think that
Have left the righteous wayf
IT'S the printers devil of whom / speak
Who, copy" calls all day.
Well, John, understand II now;
But don't you think that you
Could get substitute to-day
Who could your labor dor
Yes, dearest, will look around,
And If can but see
A fellow that / know up town,
He'll correct the proofs for me.
So John looked round as he had said,
And soon-thc fellow-found,
Aud then upon the first express
To Bay Ridge they were bound
They had jolly time that eve
The hours passed with delight;
They did not homeward HE again
Until twas late at night.
The editor then did seat himself
To read his evening paper,
And as he glanced It quickly DER
He cut jolly caper.
For he found his proof-reading-friend
Though he thought him very bright,
Had left the sanctum quickly
And gone of on tight"
Though John was in a righteous way
When first he talked with Jane,
lie swore aloud and tore his hair
And loudly did complain;
And In his raving he did say
Indeed he loudly swore)
That he'd be id IL ever he
Would go off any more,
And leave his paper la the hands
OF any drunken lout,
For If he did he knew that he
Would be very soon sold out;
So now poor Jane just languishes
And forever stays at home,
For John has truly kept his oath
And does no longer roam.
